Day 3 - Stockholm

Vaxholm is one of the most popular islands in the Stockholm Archipelago; in the summer it fills with Stockholmites who want to spend the warmer months outside of the city. From here you can take a ferry to get to Vaxholms Fästning, an old fortress.
After a morning of exploring Vaxholm, ferry over to Grinda Wärdshus, where you can spend several days exploring the island and relaxing in simple archipelago style.
